Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography Terms and Conditions 2013 Program

Updated April 2013

Deadline: Grant Applications must be uploaded to our online entry system before midnight (GMT) on May 10, 2013.

Format: Only digital submissions through our online entry system will be accepted. Prints, books, slides or
transparencies or other such materials will not be reviewed by judges nor returned to applicant.

Eligibility: Applicants must be presently engaged as a professional photojournalist. A professional photojournalist,

for the purposes of the Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography, is one who derives the majority of his or her
income from documenting issues and events through still photography. Applicants may apply as individuals or teams.
Getty Images employees may not apply. Contributors to Getty Images who are not employees are eligible.

Contact and Communication: Grant judges and/or Getty Images employees may contact grant applicants for
further communication relating to the grant application.

Coverage: Neither Getty Images nor its insurers provides coverage to grant winners while they are pursuing their
grant stories. Grant winners are at their own risk as they pursue their projects and Getty Images strongly
recommends that any photographer working under any circumstance, but in particular a conflict zone, secure
independent insurance coverage and have a clear understanding of what that insurance covers, in particular long
term health and disability coverage.

Intellectual Property: No materials and ideas contained within the application will be used by Getty Images or grant
judges for any purpose other than the grant review and selection process and for publicity (as outlined below).
Applicants retain the copyrights to any imagery submitted for the judges’ review, and to any imagery they produce in
their grant project. Only imagery to which the applicant holds the copyright may be submitted.

Selection Criteria: Grants will be awarded by independent judges, each selected by Getty Images for his or her
expertise and industry experience. Selection will be based on judges’ determination of applicant’s ability to execute
the submitted project with compelling visual narrative in documentary feature format, taking into account the caliber of
portfolio, project merit and professional ability.

Grant Recipient Notification: Winners of the grants will be notified after the judging takes place in July. A list of
grant recipients will be published at www.gettyimages.com/grants when they are announced in early September.

Publication of Final Project: Each grant recipient will have nine months, with a start date to be mutually agreed
upon by the recipient and Getty Images, to complete their project. Extensions may be granted to accommodate
special circumstances and are made at the sole discretion of Getty Images. However, if not completed within one
year, Getty Images reserves the right to withhold final funding and terminate the project.

Publicity: Each grant applicant allows Getty Images the right to use his or her name, likeness and biographical
information, as well as the right to select and use portfolio and grant project images in connection with any and all
Getty Images promotions and publicity, including the website and exhibitions of the Getty Images Grants for Editorial
Photography program.

Funding: Each Getty Images Grant for Editorial Photographer consists of $10,000 USD, half of which will be
provided to the grant recipient at the start of their project and half when the project is completed.

Taxable Compensation: The cash grants are considered compensation and may be subject to withholding tax.
Grant recipients should be prepared to provide a US Taxpayer Identification Number shortly after their grant is
awarded in order that the grant can be presented to them in a timely manner. Getty Images will provide grant
recipients outside the US with detailed information and assistance in securing this number if they do not already have
such identification. Grant recipients living in the US may request appropriate reporting information in the form of a
1099. Grant recipients living in other countries may request a 1042 income reporting forms.

Changes: Getty Images reserves the right to amend grant rules and submission guidelines for the Grants for Editorial
Photography program. If any such amendments should occur, they will be posted to www.gettyimages.com/grants 30
days prior to each application deadline date.
